‘Wolfenstein: The Board Game’ Smashes Kickstarter Goal

Published

on

Board game adaptations of video games seems to be the thing at the moment, what with Resident Evil 2 and 3, Bloodborne, Deadly Premonition all receiving a board game adaption. You can now add Wolfenstein to the list, as the recently-announced Kickstarter has crushed its goal.

Archon Games have successfully financed Wolfenstein: The Board Game, along with a handful of its stretch goals. The devs were asking for $50,000, but have ended up with almost $600,000 at the time of writing. This means many of the stretch goals – most notably, an expansion to the base game based on Wolfenstein: The Old Blood – have been attained.

Playing like something like a tactical RPG mixed with your typical 12-sided die, your goal is simple: As BJ Blazkowicz, you lead a group of resistance fighters against the Nazi machine, where you must eventually face and assassinate Hitler. Of course, you’ll have to deal with the SS and the various Nazi science experiments along the way. The game manages to incorporate stealth mechanics, as well as various abilities for BJ and his crew, including multiple firing modes for your weapons.

The board game has set a release date of August 2021. There’s still time now to pledge, so head on over to the Kickstarter page and get in on that.

After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.

Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.

Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
